Mono,
Would love to have joined you and Dub for any such fly-in, even if I had to do it at half throttle and twice as many fuel stops. I do fancy doing the Dam Busters route and a small but select group are talking about doing the real route in Germany next year. I like the idea of doing it in reverse - coming in at river height, pulling into the vertical to climb the face of the dam, half roll on the upline, pull to the horizontal over the top, half roll to upright, repeat as necessary. I've proposed it to the rest of the group. I think they said they'll get back to me.
Seriously, the flour bombing comp at Dub's home field is always a hoot. The safest place to be on the entire airfield is the target as it's the only thing that survives the day not covered in flour!
Can't actually join you this year, though, as I'm going back to the land of supersize burgers and cheap tools for the hols. Got a niece and nephew who need spoiling, you know.
Good seeing you and Dub yesterday. Sorry I didn't get a chance to chat longer but was on a bit of a mission. Fantastic flying day, though, eh? Got back in 25 fewer mins than it took to get there! How'd you do with the tailwind?
Next time you plan on coming in to Popham, drop me a line and I'll try to meet you there.
